Odometer gear replacement: 1 to 2 hours ($10 / $220 / NA)
In this video I show how to replace the odometer gears in the Volvo 850 instrument cluster. You may want to replace both small and large gears. The small gear is usually the problem.

Both gears: https://www.ipdusa.com/products/16546/Odometer-Gear-Kit-850-for-Volvo-Aftermarket-126074
NOTE: If you have a Volvo 850 with a broken odometer, FIX IT ASAP. The most important thing in caring for a car is changing the oil as scheduled. How can you do this if your odometer doesn’t work? STOP the guessing game and fix the odometer. You will save money one way or another.

Hi Robert ,from Australia.Am currently looking to buy an 850 for my son as his first car, after doing research on them the safety and reliability fits the ticket.The car is a non turbo 850 one owner ,full service history with receipts.Only issue is the odo stopped working recently. Your channel is a help for situations like this.
Cheers and all the best!
the gear can be installed upside down too, it will work for about 2m then quit- and you have to do it all over again
I have the outside temp reader out on my meter, I want to find that, and change all the lights.
Thanks Robert.
Mine is broken on the 740.
Looks to be too much trouble for me but now I have some idea of the procedure.
Thank You
Thank you Robbert, I will have it Checked

Does this also work on a 96 960? The odometer has never worked since owning the car. Its stuck at 86k
Hi Robert, You helped me before on a question on my 1996 VOLVO 960. The issue Now is that I Smell Gasoline when
I am Stopped while Driving. A friend sad, that he Thought it could be the fuel injector Seals that are "leaking".
But I have Looked under the Hood and there is No Visible Sign of any "leaks. Could this be the cause, and How do
I repair it , if possible, or must I take it to a mechanic or the dealer ??
